Totally opposite for me... being heavier does not inherently make it a safer vehicle. I would much rather have properly designed lightweight vehicle than an improper designed (or even properly designed) heavy vehicle... I want to have the opportunity to avoid an accident altogether than have no choice but to wallow into one.
